John's Will[]
Virginia in the 1780s[]
This Miller family may have resided in Virginia in the 1780s, as a Catharine Miller (born 1784), residing next door to Hannah (Miller) Skelly, reports being born in Virginia. However, it is possible that this Catherine is not a daughter, but rather a daughter-in-law of John Miller. In particular, she may be the wife of John Miller II and mother of Harrison Miller whose father was worn in Pennsylvania and mother in Virginia. Further research is required.
Pennsylvania in the 1790s[]
This Miller family resided in Pennsylvania throughout the 1790s, where daughters Mary (born circa 1791), Esther (born circa 1793) and Hannah (born circa 1800) were born.
